Messy blue hair was splayed around a soft, red mattress. Andre's eyelids were shuttered close while his internal fans blew at a low, steady pace, their hums enveloping the closed space.
Next to him sat an amazed entity. It didn't need much for Assimilation to realize that he had powered down, currently resting—or what could be called “the robot equivalent of sleeping.”
It gazed intently at the figure lying down, which was painted with something beautifully close to vulnerability. Assimilation stayed like that for a while, silently drinking up the rare sight of the other in a complete deep slumber, looking down at Andre with the same level of happiness a little kid gets when finding diamonds inside a cave.
Assimilation remembered the subtle affection from some days ago, the comforting warmth of Andre's lips pressing directly against his skin still lingering, the sincere words of “love you” replaying on its mind every now and then.
All of these feelings bloomed inside Assimilation a desire to know, to explore further these feelings that dared to drown its entire being into absolute condemnation of sensations. It wanted to understand what could make it feel whole, was it an intensity that could match its own inner world? A safe haven full of comfort and predictability? All it knew was that it knew nothing, and thus, searched for a response.
What was the human equivalent for this? Ah yes, 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮.
Assimilation quietly approached Andre, leaning closer to silently press its cheek against his face, gently rubbing its own oozy skin against his synthetic, metallic one. It wanted to shower him with kisses, show him complete affection, but it couldn't, not even when it wanted to.
Driven by the sudden spark of frustration, it took one last peek at Andre's peaceful state, before getting up from the bed. Assimilation left the room to phase the server’s code, teleportating directly into Collin's domain.
Collin didn’t shift from his place, eyes blinking in complete indifference at the sudden intrusion of his residence.
“What the fuck do you want now” He asked, completely unfazed at the situation, as it was already a normal occurence between them—In fact, it was.
“I NEED HELP, COLLIN.” Assimilation's massive eye focused on Collin, already expectant of him pulling some witty comeback as always.
“No shit.” And there it was. It didn't feel bothered by it. Assimilation always thought this type of bantering was amusing, as if it was part of human life.
Collin lifted one hand to take a sip of coffee, the other still remaining hidden under his pocket. “Does it involve your speedrunner boyfriend or something?” He suddenly asked, gaze perking up with a glint of curiosity.
Its gaze widened at the words that escaped from Collin, could he even consider Andre his boyfriend? “YES, COLLIN.” Assimilation nodded in approval, though he couldn't help but think that talking about him like this did make it feel all fuzzy inside.
“Oh wow, great.” Collin's lips curved into a small smirk at the entity's unsure response, finding amusing how it reacted as if those two weren't the reason he couldn't sleep properly days ago. “Just don’t take me to void hell this time”
“OK, COLLIN.” Assimilation had thought of doing that for the sake of assuring Andre wouldn't hear whatever they were saying, but considering how he was currently sleeping, it didn't see the point.
Collin pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, God, Assimilation really was taking his sweet time over some bullshit that may not even be important “....Go on.”
“I WANT TO KISS ANDRE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A MOUTH.” It started, its gaze falling into a mix of confusion and expectation, staring at Collin as if he was some ultimate cupid sent from heaven. “WHAT DO I DO?”
“The fuck you expect me to say?” This was unbelievable, it was genuinely nagging his peaceful, alone time over romantic advice? What was he? fucking fairy godmother???
“You're a whole ass entity, grow a mouth or something” He deadpanned, a sarcastic remark was the only thing that left his lips. He didn't expect Assimilation to take that seriously anyway.
“...” Assimilation paused, its eye widening in surprise while staring intensely at Collin, trying to process the new information navigating through its mind
Couldn't it really just grow a mouth?
Of course, that was obvious! What was it even thinking to not acknowledge this possibility? “OK, THANK YOU, COLLIN.” Its eye perked up with a glint of sheer epiphany.
“What.” He was bemused, Assimilation genuinely took that literally. ‘I was just- uh, nevermind, you're welcome dude.” Collin would object, but considering all the horrors he experienced, wouldn't be surprising if it was actually capable of doing that.
With that, its heavy, shadow figure parted away, leaving only a confused Collin rethinking about what he was doing with his whole life. ”Oh my fucking god”
–
His eyelids slowly opened themselves, eyes lazily darting around the room, trying to acknowledge where he was located. He was currently lying down on his and Assimilation's shared bed, the soft pillow making it almost impossible to leave.
Speaking of Assimilation…
Welp, suddenly the comfort of the pillow didn't matter anymore. Andre quickly sat up on the bed, hands rubbing his eyes in drowsiness before starting to miss the intense presence of a certain entity.
“Assim…?” He murmured quietly, suddenly feeling lonely in his own company. Fortunately, a familiar dark figure appeared inside their shared house again, the entity looking in a good mood.
Assimilation was quickly greeted by a tired—but beautiful—Andre who just started to power up, it supposed. “HELLO, ANDRE” Assimilation's gaze softened upon seeing the sight of his “boyfriend” before its very eye.
“Hi, Assim” Andre responded weakly, his whole body leaning against the warm touch with a small, but present smile.
It reached over the bed to tenderly tangle its hands on Andre's beautiful, blue strands, gently combing his hair with its fingers. “DID YOU REST WELL?”
Ever since he got free from the admin's claws due to Assimilation's care, a deep feeling of gratitude and happiness bloomed inside him. “Mm…ye” Andre couldn't help but feel at ease under its grasp.

Feeling the other melt against its touch, Assimilation's eye curved into what seemed to be an extremely bright expression, letting out a hum of contentment. “SOOO, ANDRE…” It started, trying to find a way to speak up.
Andre's attention quickly perked up as his name was called, shifting from the comfort to immediately stare at Assimilation with pure interest “What?”
“...” It braced itself for whatever may slip. Assimilation knew Andre wouldn’t oppose anything it said, specifically not if it was romantic affection, but Assimilation couldn't help but think what would be his response “I WANT TO KISS YOU”
“Ok” Andre responded, a quick, short answer of approval. They still hadn't done such a thing as kissing because Assimilation probably felt it was impossible given its face anatomy, but if it was willing to kiss him, Andre felt curious to see what it would do. “How you gonna do that?”
“COME HERE” Assimilation stepped closer until there was almost no physical space between them, its heavy tendrils reaching out to cup Andre’s face and lean even closer.
Andre kept his eyes wide open, expectantly waiting for whatever the entity had under its sleeve. He expected a forehead kiss, or even another cat-nuzzle along his jawline as it usually does.
But something that he definitely didn't expect was for the code defining Assimilation's face to suddenly rip and glitch violently.
Right before Andre's confused gaze, the dark, oozy flesh parted to form a sharp mouth, lined with shadow-like teeth and a terrifyingly wide grin, its breath hovering over Andre's own mouth.
Before he could even process the sight before his very eyes, it closed the distance between their lips.
The contact ended up clumsy and completely unprepared, lacking any human technique aside from the basic logic of “pressing lips together.” It was a firm demonstration of raw, desperate affection, and Andre's mind couldn't help but short-circuit all over.
The dark tendrils holding his face softened, gently caressing his cheeks down to his jawline, making Andre melt at the sheer intensity of such a tender touch. His eyes fluttered shut against Assimilations's grasp, trying to kiss it back as eagerly as possible.
When Assimilation unfortunately pulled away, its eye and now-recently-formed mouth curled into an incredibly proud smile “MWA.”
SIDIsquich: HOLY SHIT I THINK IM GONNA COMBUST

XX_E-G-O_XX: please never say this again in your entire life
SIDIsquich: ego pooooooooooooooooo
XX_E-G-O_XX: die
Andre's mind felt like it could collapse anytime now. He stared intensely at the shadow-ish teeth and the newly formed grin, and he couldn't help but think this was the most beautiful, sacred thing he had ever seen in his whole life.
This was uniquely Assimilation, something created out of his own cute, clumsy desire to love him.
A blue flush of heat colored Andre's cheeks as a genuine, wide smile broke across his own lips. His synthetic hands reached out to trace the corner of that edgy, new mouth.
“...Pretty” Was all that escaped from him, a whisper incredibly soft and full of adoration. “Do it again”
The pupil of Assimilations's eye dilated to the absolute maximum, its sharp teeth shifting in relief as its smile widened into sheer, triumphant joy.
It didn't hesitate, leaning back down to press another heavy, clumsy kiss against Andre's beautiful lips, its oozy skin molding perfectly against his as a perfect puzzle.
Before Andre could even blink or think, the Entity's dark, shadowy arms wrapped completely around his torso, pulling him tightly against its chest.
It buried its face into the metallic crook of Andre's neck, holding him so close as if it was making sure that there wasn't a single microscopic millimeter of space left between them. “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ANDRE”
Andre let out a soft, happy huff, his internal fans vibrating gently in a deep hum as he wrapped his own arms around Assimilation. He leaned all his weight into the tight, heavy embrace, completely content to just melt into its safe, predictable warmth. “I love you too, Assim.”
For sure, there was nothing better than being human.
